Manchu Woman's Shoe

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Manchu Woman's Shoe by unknown artist shows a shoe form on a white stand. The shoe form is long and flat with a pink top layer. Underneath is a layer with green, pink and white designs on a brown background. The brown layer is bordered on top and bottom by green and gold lines. Underneath the brown layer is a blue patterned layer. The right end of the shoe form appears frayed and tattered. The white stand has a wide base that narrows in the middle then widens again at the bottom. The background is light gray.
